@popperian: "Are there any real theological problems? If so, what are examples of them? 
If not, how does religion interface with reality? "

I personally have a problem in Theology where we attribute the quality 
of Absolute or at least the Primal Duality (manifested absolute) 
(omni-omni) to our idea of the ultimate god and then proceed to 
personify this.  You cannot be the source of being, and then be a being 
yourself.  If being doesn't exist until you make it, then you are not 
bound by these borders.
However, this is easily accounted for.  Just never done.
I say never... but this is highly relative and wrong of me to say. 
Because I know full well it IS dealt with.  One must approach eastern 
philosophy for this to be unveiled.
Once you address the lineage of Theology this does not seem too far from 
realistic... as it may seem to most readers.

... we can account for the majority of the western ideas and mindsets

trace back 'wisdom' to the edge of any hint of history... we would find

Who, interestingly, was extremely influential during those times when 
the world was much smaller (there were not massive oceans separating 
'far lands')."
